Structure of three tandem filamin domains reveals auto-inhibition of ligand binding

Abstract:

Human filamins are large actin-crosslinking proteins composed of an N-terminal actin-binding domain followed by 24 Ig-like domains (IfFLNs), which interact with numerous transmembrane receptors and cytosolic signaling proteins. Here we report the 2.5 Å resolution structure of a three-domain fragment of human filamin A (IgFLNa19-21). The structure reveals an unexpected domain arrangemetn, with IgFLNa20 partially unfolded bringing IgFLNa21 into close proximity to IgFLNa19. Notably the N-terminu...
